Re: Game Of Thrones

Just because someone was sort of loose-lipped about auditioning for the part, doesn't really mean he'll get it. There's been plenty of people on Twitter saying they've auditioned for parts. It's not like the character has to be cast from someone from Iceland either, it'd be nice to find a diamond in the rough, but Mance isn't even going to be in this season.

Re: Game Of Thrones

BTW, Game of Throne rocks! The novel is boring though (to me)
And I hear that a mangaka wanted to release an adaptation, but the creators of the show and novel said NO because the artwork on the mangaka looked like "shit"...

That was what I read from some HBO forum community on Game of Thrones. I hope it was true. (so my time posting here won't go to waste.)

Re: Game Of Thrones

Not much, but looks gooood. First glimpse at Stannis, Davos and Mel in costume. Stannis ain't actually how I imagined him, but close enough. Didn't even realize it was him on the first watch (thought might be because it was so fast). Hope we will get to see more soon.

Re: Game Of Thrones

Melisandre looks less.. "mysteriously evil, but seductive with grace" than I'd have imagined. But then again, you only see her for a split second..

I actually didn't even notice Brienne behind Renly until I saw someone point her out in the YouTube comments. Renly looks pretty good with his crown and all though.

Cunningham is gonna make a FRIGGIN' BRILLIANT Davos, I just know it. From the movies I've seen him in and the short images of him in costume in that video, I know he'll be one of the best roles of season 2. No doubt. I just know it.

Brienne has a helm on, so it's probably Margaery. I think Dormer is pretty good looking, but the description of the characters in the books hasn't always matched what the TV show casts. I think they're just going for the best actors.

Re: Game Of Thrones

Yeah... I mean, in the books Tyrion is described as one of the foulest, ugliest people in Westeros (maybe not word for word, but pretty much) but Peter Dinklage is actually pretty cool lookin'. And The Hound's face is nowhere near as dreadful as in the books. Dormer does look weird in that video, but tell "The Tudors"-fans that she's not beautiful and they'll call you stupid. She's not exactly my type, but I wouldn't say she is miscast or anything.

Yeah, Tyrion has uneven shoulders, a sloped forehead and mismatched eyes. And then you also have Joffrey, who's described as being very handsome. And then there's Renly, who's described as being really handsome and having long hair. Syrio Forel is nothing like he's described in the books.

Re: Game Of Thrones

The thing about the hound was the couldnt make his scar bigger or the actor cant see anything, it already covered most of his eye so that was as far as they could go, fully agree with everything else you said though.

Well I agree...it'd be almost comical to make him as disfigured as he really he is, with an exposed skull in some places and everything. You want to be able to see some humanity in the character, and making him look that hideous was unnecessary and it's not something I'm upset about at all.

Re: Game Of Thrones

First proper teaser!

Not as much material as I would have hoped for, but still great. Well built athmosphere and the shots are beautifull. I love Dillanes voice over, and am certain he will make a great Stannis (asuming that was his voice). Most interesting pics to me were Stannis with Mel and the glimpse of what I asume to be the Red Waste.

Also a new post at MGoT-blog, interview with effects guy. The juiciest bit was that we'll be seeing lot more of the dragons, and also they've shot a lot of the direwolves. They'll be massive, about big as a small horse, and the guy is excited to see it himself.
